Do not start with a new initiative on Mondays. That's how you can get rid of a stressful start of the week. Let's run the marathon and not the sprint.

If you have lost someone, there’s a time we need to grieve but there’s a time to pick yourself up and move move on. There are people around us - - - our spouse, children (and grand children, if you have any) who are being cheated as a result of you not moving on do the things that you regularly do - things that you enjoy and love doing.
My encouragement to you today is, or my question to you is, don't you think it's time to move on? I mean isn't it time whatever that is, whether it's a business loss, I don't know maybe it's a relationship that went bad, maybe it was a divorce, maybe it was a financial crisis, maybe you were bankrupt or you keep kicking yourself and blaming yourself. Well guys listen, primarily I'm talking to you men, we have people counting on us and depending on us and we have responsibilities to our family first of all. Your family may be tired of you wallowing in your sorrows - pick yourself up and MOVE ON!

When I was 15 years old working at the local pawn shop this guy walked in the store one day and he pulled up in a brand new Cadillac and he was dressed to the nines. This guy had suit and tie, diamond rings, had a gold watch on. I mean this guy was absolutely decked out. I waited on him for a few minutes and then I finally just asked him because you know when you're young you don't have any diplomacy or tack. I went up to him and I said, “Hey, that's such a beautiful car you've got there! And all these diamond rings! How did you make so much money?” He started laughing and he said, “How old are you?” And I said. “Fifteen.” He said, “Let me ask you a question. If you have goals and dreams and you work really hard you can do the same thing.” I said “I know I'm probably not gonna ever have anything.” And he said, “Why not you?”
I want to ask you today, why not you you?

Are you too tight for your own good? Let me tell you what I mean by that man. We need to be generous people! What I’m saying is this from a percentage-wise. We all can be very generous and I want to talk about specifically people that take care of you because they deserve it first and foremost. The second reason is, it's good for you. We need to show a sense of generosity. We need to be grateful for the people that are taking care of us. I know when I travel around and speak and go to conferences, if I'm going to stay somewhere like three or four nights, the first night there after they've cleaned my room, I'll write a note and say “Thank you for doing an outstanding job! You guys killed it and I want you to know how much I appreciate it!” And I'll put five ten or fifteen or twenty dollars depending on how long I’m gonna be there for. Then, my room looks like a museum the rest of the week. They're very nice! they're hospitable to me and everything that I do throughout the week any requests they honor it and they feel it. Listen a few dollars goes a long way but just to say thank you to people that take care of you is a big thing! Guys we've got to have a switch our mindset it can’t be "how little can I give”, "It is their responsibility”, 'they're getting paid”…...we can't do that and expect to have great service. So I want to encourage you today to change your mindset just a little bit show your gratefulness be a little bit generous with those people that are serving you and take care of you and you watch how things change for you long term.

What Do You Do When Their Program Doesn’t Fit Your Plan?
Posted by Aaron Walker on Jun 17, 2022 10:03:23 AM
As an entrepreneur for 41 years now, I have faced making difficult decision. Do you make the honorable choice the right decision even when it doesn't fit your plan? How do we expect our children to have a manner that we're proud of them if we as adults are doing these go arounds …… we're finding these loopholes in order to meet our needs? I’d like to encourage you to do the right thing! It is hard! But I want to tell you something. You’ll sleep better at night. There'll be better repercussions as a result of you making great decisions from an integrity standpoint.
